Angels Of War

Oh you angels of war, grab the world by its throat
And squeeze out its life, and burn out its hope
Who live by the sword, and die all alone
Oh you angels of war I am one of your own

Thousands of years and not one of peace
With armies that rage from the west to the east
And no one is guilty but we all take the blame
Come, you angels of war from the shadows of shame

Oh Holler, Oh holler
Oh holler so loud that you cannot be heard
It makes so much sense that it’s fuckin’ absurd
You know what to say but you can’t find the words…so you holler

There were cities of fame that no longer exist
They were turned into dust, disappeared in the mist
But the blood that was spilled in the rivers and sands
Can’t ever be washed from the palms of our hands

Oh you angels of war who are heroes of mine
Some will say you are beasts, some will call you divine
Do you give up your souls so that goodness prevails
I will comfort your mom as she mourns and she wails

Oh holler, Oh holler
Oh holler so loud that you cannot be heard
It makes so much sense that it’s fuckin’ absurd
You know what to say but you can’t find the words…so you holler

Oh you angels of war who have tasted defeat
When you cannot go on but you cannot retreat
Like a flower that blooms in a garden of bones
With no name on your grave, just a pillow of stones
